In the case of a US Airways flight attendant who was injured in a slip-and-fall aboard an airport shuttle bus, the Supreme Court has agreed to consider when an employee traveling between a parking lot and their workspace is in the course and scope of their employment.

In US Airways v. Workers’ Compensation Appeal Board (Bockelman), a three-judge panel consisting of Commonwealth Court Judges P. Kevin Brobson, Michael H. Wojcik and J. Wesley Oler Jr. rejected US Airways’ argument that because the airline did not own the shuttle bus and flight attendant Betty Bockelman was injured outside of her shift hours, she wasn’t in the scope of her employment at the time.
